Control Stripe actions before they execute. Every AI-triggered refund, payout, and transfer is intercepted, evaluated, and either allowed, blocked, or held for approval.
Works with your existing Stripe integration. No code changes to your AI.
Runplane understands Stripe out of the box. You're not building rules from scratch.

Runplane acts as a Stripe approval system for AI-triggered actions.
Every request to:
is intercepted and evaluated before Stripe processes it.
This enables:
Stripe executes the action. Runplane decides if it's allowed.
Support AI issues refunds. Billing automation triggers payouts. Sales AI cancels subscriptions. Without an approval system, you only find out after execution — which is why teams need to control AI agents in production.

“Our AI refunded $47,000 across 200 customers before anyone noticed.”
Most companies only find out after the money is gone.

Real-time decision engine
This happens in real-time, before Stripe processes the action. Under 50ms latency. This is AI execution containment for payments.
1. Intercept
Runplane captures the Stripe API call (e.g. refund.create, payout.create) before execution. The action is held, not executed.
2. Evaluate
Policy engine classifies the action type, calculates risk score, and checks against your rules.
3. Decide
Allow (low risk), Require Approval (medium/high), or Block (critical). Then forward or reject.

Stripe
Runplane logs every Stripe action triggered by your AI — whether it was allowed, blocked, or required approval.
For every action, you can see:
Who initiated it (AI agent or system)
What action was attempted (refund, payout, transfer)
The decision (allowed, blocked, or held for approval)
Why the decision was made (policy match + risk score)
This is not just control. It's full traceability of every AI action in Stripe.
Companies need different approval logic for different Stripe actions. Runplane applies the right control automatically based on risk.

How do I approve Stripe refunds before they execute?
Runplane intercepts refund API calls and holds them for approval based on your thresholds. You approve or deny from the dashboard, Slack, or API. Only approved refunds reach Stripe.
Can I block Stripe payouts automatically?
Yes. You can configure policies to block all payouts, block payouts outside business hours, or require approval for payouts over a certain amount. Blocked actions never reach Stripe.
Does Runplane work with existing Stripe integrations?
Yes. Runplane sits between your AI and Stripe. No changes to your AI code. Just point your AI's Stripe calls through Runplane and policies are enforced automatically.
What Stripe actions can be controlled?
All write operations: refunds, payouts, transfers, subscription changes, customer deletions. Read operations (balance checks, list queries) are allowed by default but fully logged.
How is this different from Stripe logs or monitoring tools?
Stripe logs and monitoring show you what already happened. Runplane prevents unauthorized actions before they happen. It's the difference between detection and control. Learn more about our payment approval system.
Can I see why a Stripe action was blocked or approved?
Yes. Runplane provides a full audit trail for every action, including the policy matched, risk score, and decision. You can trace exactly what your AI attempted and why a decision was made.
